It's been a while since I've written here on this wonderful blog, and I thought I'd just catch you all up on the life and times of The Friendly Necromancer while taking a look at what's going on in Wizard101 as well . . . STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS STYLE! Rambling is the best, and I'm in kind of a rambling mood . . . so read on fellow rambling people!
Cool? Cool.
So, Wizard101. You all know that game, right? Of course you do. You're a big time fan and all that jazz. This also means that you know all about the limited-time Five B.O.X.E.S. event that's going on. It's super hip right now.
We've been reading about all your thoughts at KingsIsle. We've seen your posts on Central. We've seen your tweets and your mind dumps on Facebook. We've got emails. BLOGPOSTS! We've seen your posts on our Message Boards, and we've even heard you talking about it in game.
Yup.
You know what was fun for us? Preparing for it to launch and kicking it off in game! That was great! Leala and I prepared and schemed and thought about how it would be received in the Community, and y'all didn't disappoint us. :)
You know what else? Hallowe'en or Halloweenfest or whateveryouwanttocallitthistime . . . is also underway! There are these new fish you can catch. YEAH. First time you've seen that at Halloween time, right? You know it is!! . . . And all the standards are back too . . . Nosferabbit and the towers and all that . . . .
Yup.
You know what else else? We've got a new friend working with us at KingsIsle . . . a brand new employee!
Yup.
We'll have to save introductions for later, but you might have seen that "Social Media Coordinator" position that was on our job listings suddenly disappear from the list. That's our new friend. :)
Yup Yup!
Do you know what new friends mean? New newbie characters that you can play with your new friends. To those ends, I'd love to introduce you all to Fred Trollfinder.
He's finding Trolls. That's what Community Managers do. :) (Beware impersonators . . . if you see a Fred Trollfinder in game and think it's me, ask to see the KingsIsle Support badge.) I'm Level 7 and saving Firecat Alley yo.
Awesome.
I'll have to do another mind ramble like this for Pirate101 a little later. For now, I just wanted to let you all know that I'm still alive and kicking and doing well. There's always TONS going on in the back channels of KingsIsle, and it doesn't always allow for me to speak as freely as I'd like to about upcoming features, but I really do hope you're all enjoying The Spiral lately and loving all things KingsIsle.
In the infamous words of Howard Jones, Things can only get better.
Happy dueling!
